2) The old guidance promoted the idea that of "true gender" including saying that two year olds could be diagnosed, and normalised the idea of teenage girls binding their breasts. All that is gone.
3) The guidance is more cautious about encouraging children to transition, recognising that there can be uncertainty, and encouraging scout leaders to accommodate individual children's needs in discussion with parents, but not necessarily assume a rush to social transition.
4) There is more emphasis on talking to parents. The old guidance said with parents "if supportive", suggesting that parents are only supportive if they affirm that a child should adopt an opposite sex identity.
5) More recognition that other children have a legitimate expectation of privacy. Old guidance said 'ideal' was 'transchildren' sharing cubicled facilities of their 'true gender'. New guidance suggests separate unisex options where possible so that everyone is comfortable.
6) Old guidance was developed in partnership with Mermaids and the Gender Trust, with prominently featured logos and suggested "referring children to organisations such as Mermaids". New guidance still links to Mermaids but with less endorsement.
The new guidance is not perfect but it is a big improvement. It still refers to trans children rather than children with gender dysphoria, and it could link to @Transgendertrd as a resource. But its a big step forward.
